Am I the only one, who is tired of being zapped with dispel scrolls, damnation, wrath, and talisman of pebble and so forth? I mean, its like having rangers, thiefs and so on running around with shaman powers...

Just my two cents.

If they are spending their time using those scrolls/wands instead of other things that are more likely to kill you in a 1v1, then they are doing you a favor. If they are ganging you down then the lightforge scrolls probably don't change the outcome anyway. Pretty much everything that exists in a lightforge scroll can have the same affect occur with a non lightforge scroll.

There are a few circumstances where lightforge provides something that's "PK optimal". Not sure those circumstances are what this guy is talking about, but they do exist.

Shocking.
Now if only imperial powers were up to par... oh wait.

The weapons are useful if you're not already rocking highly limited stuff. I was just talking about the consumable magic items.

The annoying thing about light forge is that usually you're looking for a single wand/talisman/scroll out of several different possibilities. So unless you get lucky you end up spending a bunch of time forging stuff, identifying it, then throwing it away. It's like the old Masters power "brew" in that respect.

So you can't make a stack of the ones you need in advance.

They do crumble, but the duration is pretty long. The crumbling is more of a problem with weapons. There's no obvious timer, so once you've had a pair for a while you start to worry they'll crumble in the middle of a fight. So you end up forging new ones "early" to avoid that happening.

An imperial bitching about fort powers? Damn

Looking at cabalwars, all cabals (Empire included) have like 4-8 members, Outlander has 12 and Fort has 24.

Fort always seems to have a ton of members, the majority of whom are playing alts and/or are in the process of auto-deleting. Though, yeah, at the moment they have a decent number that are active.

Yeah well, there's not much incentive to share a cabal with Glikhardiz now is there?

I really want to roll an Empire bard and just march around blasting this out via the "music" command:

Holy marshmallows roasted over phoenix fire.

It's never really been a problem as there are lots of counters.
